I'm not gonna lie to you and say it's all gonna be ok. It probably won't be. If we get through this at all, it'll be with solidarity. The old world is dying and it's trying to take everyone with it. Whether it does or not, I don't know. But I'm gonna go down swinging.

NEWS: The Boeing factory workers’ strike is over. After spending 53 days on strike, 59% of @IAM751 members have voted to accept their new contract.

This is the most important story in music right now. And I’m not using hyperbole. @distrokid_Union formed to do right by workers and artists at the largest online music distributor in the world. Now tech ghouls are attacking them.
Cuba has been entirely without electricity for 72 hours.
The nationwide blackout is a direct consequence of the U.S.’s 60-year blockade, which has sabotaged the island’s power grid by restricting access to fuel and critical materials needed for repairs.
WE HAVE A DEAL! Thanks to our members’ strong organizing and an outpouring of support from our colleagues and community, the New Yorker Union has achieved a successor agreement that builds on the historic wins of our first contract.
